OMNI saysThe watermark surfaces felt state — the brand publishes a mood, not just a percentage.
§E2's second idea: the brand surface displays the system's somatic state as a visual (a calm green, an amber pulse, a red alarm) so the audience senses the system's condition without reading dashboards. CALM = no flash; STRESSED = amber flash; ALARMED = fast red pulse; ELATED = subtle gold. The watermark is honesty made ambient — the system shows how it feels, turning internal hormones into a public, legible signal.
